The scrutiny over Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership at the Pentagon has been a long time coming on Capitol Hill.

Donald Trump didn’t throw much support behind Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in the cold open of the Dec. 6 episode of “Saturday Night Live.” Colin Jost reprised his role as Hegseth, berating the press as they were asking about the United States’ strikes on boats that were alleged to be operated by narco-terrorists.

Colin Jost impersonated the defense secretary in a Pentagon press conference about the U.S. military strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats.

Controversial Democratic lawmaker Mark Kelly of Arizona has vowed he is 'not going away' despite threats made against him.

Lawmakers in both the House and the Senate have started inquiries into the "double tap" strikes, which critics have said could constitute a war crime.

President Donald Trump unveiled initial plans for the "state-of-the-art" Golden Dome in May, which he said would be up and running by the end of his time in office to defend against "next-generation" threats like ballistic, cruise and hypersonic missiles.

The inspector general report was highly critical of Hegseth, saying that the secretary’s use of Signal put U.S. troops and the mission in danger.

The New York Times is suing to try to stop the Pentagon from imposing new rules on journalists who cover the military.

A forthcoming inspector general report finds that had intel shared by Hegseth been intercepted by an adversary, it would have endangered servicemembers, according to a source who viewed the findings.
